Hi Ravi,
Thank you for the updated index. Some minor things: in Definition 2.7.6 on p.93, should the general definition of the support be the set of points for which the stalk is not the *terminal* object, as opposed to the initial object? Something similar pops up in Exercise 2.7.H on the following page, where in the problem statement of part (a) we should be showing that the stalk (i_*F)_q for q outside Z is the singleton, as opposed to showing that it is the empty set, I think? Lastly, for notational consistency the adjoint pair referenced in Exercise 2.7.F on p.93 might instead be (\alpha^{-1}, \alpha_*), as opposed to (\alpha^*, \alpha_*)?

Remote memorial to the tragic passing of Andrew John Phillips, the head stockman at Bowen Downs Station in 1920, who drowned on horseback, presumably crossing some body of water.
His epitaph reads: "Accidentally drowned on horseback on 27.4.1920. Aged 30." At the end, a final line reads ”He could swim but his horse could not.”
Given the size of the plot, one might wonder if Mr. Phillips was buried here with his horse.

Elk had been absent in this area for more than 150 years. In 2005, an elk herd was reintroduced to the preserve that has grown and flourished in establishing a healthy population in the region.
